Greetings Mr. Joyner
Your structural assumption are in the right track. The reason for plywood
usage
is because, plywood with it cross strand fabrication takes both forces and
stabilizes
them, making it a very suitable product for flooring uses. Similar forces
are apply
to regular dwellings by atmospheric impacts.
The forces that are apply to a AS are similar and unlike those apply to a
dwellings.
Forces in this case comes from moving and stationary ways. Some of those
forces will
induce severe buckling in the structural members as well as the floor.
Industry can by all means design composite that will take theses forces and
accomplish
the desired results. As you have mention, it a matter of choosing the proper
material
and the sequence of construction to achieve that result. Transfer of lateral
and transverse
loads can be accomplish by simply adding straps at contact point and with a
fastener spacing
to take care of the transfer between wall and floor. This plus thickness of
material will
give you proper results. It WILL be expensive but doable.
